9. From and after the Huh ot May, 1872, sny person who IS a citizen Ot the United States or who has declared his
 intention tO become citizen. may locate.
 record, and hold 8 mining claim of fifteen hundred linear feet along the coarse Ol any mineral vein or lode subject tO loca- ton; or an association of persons. sever ally qualified As above, mby make joint location of such clBim of fifteen hundred
 feet. but Tn no event can location Of
 vein or lode made subsequent to May 10, 1872, exceed fifteen bundred. feet
 along the course thereof. whatever may
 be the number of persons cOmDOsiDg:the
 association.
 10. With regard to the extent of sur
 face ground adjoining a vein or lode,
 and claImed for the convenient working
 thereof, the Revised Statutes provide that the lateral extent Of locations or
 veins or lodes nBds after A y 70, 1872.
 shall m no case exceed three hundred feet on each sIde ol tine middle of tue
 vein at the surface, Bni tbai ID ouch
 surface rights shsll be limited by sDy
 mining regulations Co less tban twenty ! five fest on eBcu slie O, tae middle 0t
 the veIn Rt the surface, except where Gd- verse rights existing On tue lOth ot May, | 1872, may render su1h limitations nec,s- sarJ the end-hOles of such claims tO be
 in all cases parallel to each other. Said
 lateral measurements cannot extend be- | yond three hundred feeE on either side
 of the middle of the vein Ht the surface, | or such distance ss is allowed by local laws. For example: 4O0 feet cannot be
 taken on one side and 4OU on the Cshsr. | If, however, 3UO feet on each slGe are allowed, and by reason of prior clBImF bUt loo feet can be taken on ono side.
 the locator will not bs restricted Co lees
 than 300 feet on the other side; aud
 when the locator does not determine by exploration where the middle of the
 vein st the surface IS. his discovery shaft | must be assumed tO mark such yOint | II. By the foregoing 1t will Dc per | ceived thst no lOde-clsIm located aft T | the I0th of May, 1872, can exceed pax l | sllelogram fifteen hundred fee. iu length 1
 by SIX hundred feet in width; but whether surface ground of that width l
 can be taken, depends upon the Toe J l.
 regulations or State or Terri Orial lays l
 m force in the several mining districts; l.
 and that no such local regulations or l State or Territorial laws shall limit Q 1 ! claim or lode veIn to less than fifteen l
 hundred feet along the course thereof. l
 whether the location ls made by one or |
 more persons. nor can surisce-riyh's b. l
 limited to less than fifty feet in Eidt1. l
 unless adverse c'sius existing on t-e .
 l0ih day of Msy. 1872, render such la,crG 1 limitation necessary.
 12. It is provided by ihe Revised l
 Statutes that she miners ot each Gi=-rcz |
 may make rules and reEG.-.I0us moi Ir !. nf H.F ."a.ra
 States, or of tbe State or Territory m 1
 which such districts are respective.y siiu- ! aied, governing the location, manner s' l recording, and amount Cf work nee. s-ary | to hold possession of G claim. They likewise require that the location saGli | be distinctly marked on the ground llal | its boundaries may be readily traced. l This Is 6 very important matter. B1d | lOcatoTs cannot exercise too much care | ID defining their locations at the outset. | inasmuch as the law requires that all l records of mining locations made subs5- 1 qusnt to May 10. 1872, shali coutlin tLe | name or names of the lOcs' Crs, tGe date | of the location, and such R description of | the clam or claims located. by reference l to some natural object or permanent | monument, ss will identify the claim.
 l3. Ihe statutes pr1ylle that DO lode | claim shall be recorded until after the l discovery of Q vein or lode Uishin tae | limits Of the ground claimed, the object | of which provision is evidently Co pre-
 vent the encuubering of the distr.ct l mining records with useless locations. before sufficient work has been done tg | determine whether . vein oz loie has | really been discovered or not.

 Fein can be traced upon the surface, SIT E | shaft, Or run tunnel CT drift, tO a
 suific,ent depth therein tn 'rr~1-ar s--=
